Private dining space in Scarborough

The room
Two kitchens to work with
A presentation kitchen and a separate prep kitchen, with the appliances and prep space a dinner needs.
The bar is part of the room
The bar sits on the event floor, so it works as a drinks station or a serving counter.


Setting up
Ways to lay it out
- Set one long table for a family-style dinner, or several rounds for a larger group
- Serve from the presentation bar
- Keep the prep kitchen for plating, out of sight of guests
- Add bar stools at the bar for drinks before dinner
